I'd probably like another shorter time interval aswell... say 5 - 10 mins, aswell as the ones you've mentioned.

In my wee script i was aiming for just a numeric entry by the user as to whatever amount of minutes they'd like.

You dont think thats the right approach ?

Yeh, just click on the widget/shortcut, and enter amount of mins? I'd download this app instantly!

With music on I'll fall asleep within 30 min haha. I'd rather use a slider instead of having to type in the time.

Will this work, if I use KMplayer instead of Media Player?

It would only take a tiny modification, but I guess it's fairly simple to make something that would work with both.

OK, I did it :-) Falling asleep on my chair, 1.30 AM here...
During the next few hours, a package called "sleeper" will show up in extras-devel. It's a very simple widget with two buttons, one "15" and the other "30". Have fun :-)
(If the widget doesn't shop up after you added it to the desktop, please reboot - this only happens if haven't yet installed any pyton-widget before)

Currently you can only achieve this by wrapping the music file in a smil file, like

<smil>
<body>
<audio dur="900" src="your-music.mp3"/>
</body>
</smil>

and open this file.
(actually 15m should work, but somehow it doesn't ..)

Just tried and unfortunately this isn't detected as audio only, the screen isn't dimmed.

But there is another playlist format where a duration can be set, namely asx. So

<ASX>
<entry>
<duration value="15:00"/>
<ref href="your-music.mp3"/>
</entry>
</ASX>

plays for 15 minutes and does dim the screen.

Does it only work with headphones?
I tried it out because i really could use such an app but it does not work.
